The glamorous excesses of the Grimaldi family have made the Prince's Palace (Palais Princier) in Monaco-Ville a monument to decadence. The State Apartments, functioning as a museum for most of the year, feature brightly colored frescoes and ornate chandeliers. See what life is like for the rich and famous by walking through the immaculately decorated rooms. The Grimaldi family moved to the grounds at the end of the 13th century, although a fortress existed here since the late 12th century. The competing influences of new generations of inhabitants have resulted in an eclectic collection of styles all encompassed in one building. Today it remains the home of Prince Albert II, the head of state in Monaco. Wander through the Palace Square, which leads up to the royal home, and try to identify the different building styles evident in the surroundings. Notice how the colonnades and elegant pale walls contrast with the medieval gray stone tower at the far end. Wait until just before noon to see the changing of the guard, a meticulously operated military drill that attracts hundreds of spectators. Inside the palace, more than a dozen of the State Apartments remain open throughout the year for the public to explore. Marvel at the large frescoes covering some of the ceilings and look for artworks from such esteemed masters as Brueghel and Mignard. Each room in the palace serves a different function. The Mirror Gallery, for instance, is used for entertaining visiting heads of state. Learn about the Grimaldi family tree through the portraits on display in the Blue Room. In one wing, the Museum of Napoleonic Souvenirs exhibits memorabilia which once belonged to the famous French emperor. In summer, concerts are held in the palace courtyard. The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra performs classical music throughout July and August. Purchase a ticket and enjoy a night under the stars listening to stunning symphonies and sonatas. The Prince's Palace stands on the rocky outcrop of Monaco-Ville, about a 15-minute walk from the station. If you don’t want to walk, ride a bus to the Chapelle de la Visitation stop. ## Plan a trip to see Prince's Palace of Monaco Price found within the past 48 hours.

(339 reviews) Overall a good experience, but by any means a great experience. For a hotel with these ratings, the expectations are not met: none of the showers worked properly- one was leaking, the other one didn’t work. The room is market as it has a balcony with ocean view: that was true, as was ‘some’ ocean view, otherwise it was a lot of ‘roof view’ of the adjacent building. Some of staff members was trying to do their best (the valet team was fantastic as they have a very hard job to move the luggage up and down on a lot of stairs), but some of them just average not something expected from a hotel with such ratings … and rates (ie at check out they charged us one night more for the parking, the offer for transportation was just outrageous- ie 3 times the taxi rates for same type of car…). On the other hand, pleas do yourself a favor and don’t go to the hotel’s restaurant: the service is just bad and the food not so great either (at least for the expectation from a Michelin star restaurant). Let’s start with the reservation: we asked for dinner reservation, and they booked us at 8:00 pm, when the best time is 7:00 pm so you can enjoy the sunset- they didn’t mention / offer this, albeit the restaurant was half booked when we arrived. They asked for formal dressing: don’t worry - they do not reinforce: the people are showing up in T shirts and flip flops. Now the service: we asked for sparkling water, obviously they brought us still water; they brought us the drinks ordered by others … Reviewed on Oct 9, 2025 ![Hôtel Métropole Monte Carlo – Spa Guerlain](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/19500/19442/0d5ddf5b_y.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ### Hôtel Métropole Monte Carlo – Spa Guerlain Monte Carlo CA $2,366 per person Feb 17 - Feb 23 found 11 hours ago Roundtrip non-stop flight included Montreal (YUL) to Nice (NCE) 9.2/10 Wonderful! (497 reviews) Overall Rating: 10/10 – Highly Recommended! I absolutely loved my stay and would recommend it wholeheartedly. The overall experience was excellent, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit. The only aspect that was disappointing was the transportation consultation service. On my last day, I approached the concierge desk to inquire about booking a reliable taxi to the Nice airport for an early morning departure. The staff member advised that booking an external taxi might be unreliable and that there was a high possibility the driver might not show up. She then offered the hostel's in-house car service for a fixed price of 250 euros for the trip. This price felt very high. We decided to go to a local taxi stand, spoke with a driver, and downloaded a local taxi app. Using the app for the same early morning trip, the actual cost was only 110 euros. I felt that the information provided by the staff member regarding the reliability of outside taxis was misleading in an effort to sell their significantly more expensive internal car service. While this was a frustrating incident, it was the only negative point in an otherwise perfect stay. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
